The tactics used by Mary Kay ladies to recruit women into the scam know no bounds. Here we have a MK director who is trying to recruit a newly widowed woman who is “having a hard time making ends meet.” The director sent her a packet of information after a …
No one finishes DIQ (director in qualification) to become a Mary Kay sales director without signing up friends and family who have no intention of doing the business, or without putting in their own money. No one. Current MK DIQ Lauren Wagner is a shining example of this. And she …
Why did director Jamie Taylor (still not an NSD) “succeed” at Mary Kay, but you did not? She breaks it down in this video from October. You can skip to 0:50 if you don’t want to watch the whole thing. It’s simple. Some of you thought it was going to …
Here’s a post from a private Facebook group. The poor Mary Kay consultant has started and stopped her “business” over and over for the last 11 years. She keeps failing. She wants to make MK be her full-time gig, but can’t get there. In fact, she says every time she …

The Mary Kay legal department has issued a letter to all National Sales Directors about earnings claims. It seems they may be trying to head off trouble from the FTC, since it is widely known that Mary Kay consultants, directors, and NSDs repeatedly make false earnings claims. We even have …
Mary Kay is hurting for new consultants. The ship has been sinking for some time now. But the COVID-19 pandemic has sent the company into a tailspin. Recruiting is down. Ordering is down. So what can they do when the business is wholly dependent on large inventory orders from brand …
Don’t get me wrong: Hand-me-downs are awesome for growing kids and people who like yard sales (we call them rummage sales in Wisconsin!). But as a “prize” in Mary Kay? NSD Kristin Sharpe proudly displayed on Facebook the fun time her unit members had shopping from her closet of used …
